Classic Whole Grain Carnaroli Rice 500g

The Classic Whole Carnaroli Rice from Acqua e Sole is truly extraordinary! It is no coincidence that Carnaroli is referred to as the "King of rice": thanks to its high starch content, firmer texture, and longer grains, it is capable of cooking perfectly.

The Carnaroli Rice is a variety originally from Pavia, Novara, and Vercelli, developed in 1945 thanks to the work of the rice grower from Paullo, Angelo De Vecchi, who crossed two other rice varieties: Vialone and Lencino. The name of this particular rice seems to derive from that of one of his collaborators, a certain Carnaroli.

This is, however, especially a whole grain rice that retains many more nutritional properties compared to traditional refined white rice because, being less processed, it contains a greater amount of fiber. Whole grain rice is indeed a highly digestible food, very beneficial for the intestines, and has a lower glycemic index precisely due to its high fiber content.
